Sales of homes for less than the amount of their outstanding mortgage debt have tripled since 2008, particularly in California, according to a report released last Tuesday.
Known as “short sales”, the increasingly common transactions for financially troubled homeowners are projected to balloon to 400,000 in 2010. The number of transactions had exploded to more than 160,000 in 2009 from roughly 96,000 the year before. More than a quarter of the transactions occur in California, with another quarter split between Arizona, Texas and Florida
In an economy in which jobs are scarce and a quarter of homeowners owe more on their property than it’s worth, short sales are appealing to investors, banks and owners as a cheaper way out than foreclosure.
And with fluctuating home prices, lenders can be reluctant to approve short sales. The transactions can be a hassle to execute, especially when multiple loans on a home mean a slew of creditors are included in negotiations.
But on the bright side; Short sales could actually end up boosting the job market. Unemployed homeowners who can escape underwater mortgages have an easier time moving around, expanding their job search.
As I finish this posting, there are currently 604 houses for sale in the Fremont tri-city area. Of which 126 are short sales, that’s 20%. Those numbers decrease sharply for the higher priced homes. Of the homes prices over $500,000 only 12% are short sales.
I just thought I would post this beautiful 4 bedroom home in Newark, CA. Its been all remodeled through out and looks great. It’s nearly 2000 square feet.
You’ll love the all new custom kitchen with gas stove, Bosch dishwasher, “Corian” counters and Maple cabinets.
New “Milgard” windows, new carpet, new paint inside & out, new roof & gutters and new garage door & opener too. The large master suite with new bathroom and 2 large closets.
Cherrywood floors highlight the family room & kitchen.
Inside washer/dryer included.
Enjoy the front patio and the large backyard also. I think is could be the perfect home for you and your family.
